My second year!!

Finally, after 16 months my MBBS second year is at the end. {Oct 2011- Jan 2013}

In this 16 months time changed a lot and life kept on moving without a pause… new people came… some went off… some really low moments… some extremely high… anyhow life was so beautiful in its own way!! 

 I was attached to many…. And worked and enjoyed with everybody I came across…. I discovered a different me…. More altruistic, good and self abnegating me…

I met many who contributed to my life in one or the other way…. I was encouraged, appreciated, criticized and discouraged time to time…. But it always added towards my learning and helped me to learn and become better with every step…

Starting with surgery postings in October, I still remember the day when I wore my OT dress for the first time the amusement I felt was ever lasting. The long standing lectures in the wards, the flirts with the P.Gs, denounces from the professors, the emotional bondage with the patients everything was eternal.

Our successful strike for the referred in November is our greatest triumph in second year. During OBG postings in March, every day was amazing. The enthusiasm to hear a fetal heart sound, the startling moment when I saw a moving fetus in the ultrasound scan, the goose bumps I got on seeing a natural delivery for the first time, the exhilaration on holding a newly born baby who is yet to open his eyes, the a lovely conflict with a housiee in the labor room, the exceedingly large birth register… hmm… every moment was most memorable. 

The next 4 months of Medicine Postings in unit 2 were outstanding. The Tom & Jerry fights with my unit mates, beautiful clinical experiences, some parkinsonian faces, some angry birds, the numerous case studies we discussed… all these engrossed me towards this defective physiology. 

The buzz of EEGA in July, the Fresher’s in August made us even closer. 

 

September is the month of ecstasy. During the college fest, every day was splendid. Our wonderful volley ball match, the hilarious hairstyling, our victory over seniors in dance and cricket, the buffoonery ball badminton, the wondrous love letter writing, the striking singing by our singers… the whole were fantastic.

Coming to Pulse, it is a pile of memories!! The fortnight I spent with my friends created bonds which often last forever.

In October, I was being jerked to and fro by some gigantic events; I was caught in an emotional clutter & had a series of changes in my life. I was pissed off with such an enigmatic life. Finally, I learnt that life is a string of hits and misses, hard moments are necessary to make us perfect and we have to choose a path of individual responsibility and maturity rather than letting grief take a different course. 

In the last three months, we are engaged with exams. Everyone was busy cramming… night outs, residing in reading rooms, discussions, altercations; hmm… time went off very slow and sluggish.

To conclude, my second year is remarkable. I thank everyone who made my journey such a beautiful one and I hope that it would be the same in our clinicals too.
